During the Galactic Civil War era, specifically on Lok, there existed a docile kusak named Gargle. Following the Battle of Yavin, Gargle became a member of a kusak pack, consisting of nine other members: Bedhead, Blinky, Scarecrow, Slobbers, Troubles, Wart Face, Runt, Ding, and Speedbump. The Lok Revenants trained this group to protect Nym's Stronghold. In 1 ABY, an individual, seeking adventure, attempted to nourish Gargle with Lokkian weed. Due to Gargle's picky nature, the adventurer was forced to gather and test various plants to discover Gargle's preferred type.
Gargle made an appearance in the video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game created by Sony Online Entertainment and distributed by LucasArts. The game was released in 2003, but was shut down on December 15, 2011. Gargle was incorporated into the game as a part of the updated "Nym's Theme Park," which was launched through "Game Update 16," on March 23, 2010.
The kusak was included in the "Caring for the Kusaks" collection. Players received one of ten unique Lokkian weeds upon completing the "Weed Whacker Foliage Requisition" mission. These weeds could be used as feed for the kusaks, but each of the ten kusaks located in or near the stronghold would only consume one specific, randomly chosen type of weed.
